It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

The order of encirclement and annihilation warfare is to surround the enemy first and then annihilate them.
But, how can we fight faster, better and more economically?

The General Staff has two strategies.
One is to surround with heavy troops, gradually erode, and slowly tighten the belt.
This can cause the enemy's officers and soldiers to lose their psychological defenses, thus forcing them to surrender.

In this way, our losses can be minimized.

However, this approach takes time.

At present, the Liangjiang Prefecture soldiers will launch an attack on the first and second regiments at any time. Time is of the essence.

Therefore, the second method of warfare came into being.

Concentrate superior forces to carry out a focused assault on the Jiangbei Prefecture troops, destroying the enemy's camp and positions in one fell swoop.
They were unable to resist in an organized manner, and then they were divided and surrounded, and eaten one by one.
Although the assault troops would suffer considerable casualties,

However, it can save precious time and help defeat the heavy military forces in Liangjiang Prefecture.

Lu Yunlong fell down, and the deputy platoon leader took over.

Figures fell one after another, one after another,
The Steel Knife Company of the Second Battalion, like a hot knife sliding through butter, penetrated the heart of the enemy position.
There were almost no defensive fortifications behind Liangjiang Prefecture.
The bravery and tenacity of the Steel Blade Company,

Not only did it scare the Jiangbei defenders, but it also inspired the officers and soldiers of the Third Regiment.

More soldiers followed the Steel Knife Company.
Rushing into the right wing of the Liangjiang soldiers, they fired their guns and threw bombs, sweeping towards both sides.

The soldiers had never seen such a desperate fighting style before.
"Ah, the Far Easterners are rushing in..."

"I can't stop it... It's over!"

"We've lost~~Run away..."

The momentum of a drum is as strong as a tiger, and the brave will win in close combat.

In less than ten minutes, the Third Regiment completely occupied the right wing of Jiangbei Prefecture.
Hundreds of the enemy were killed or wounded, and hundreds of defenders knelt on the ground with their hands raised as prisoners.
There were even more defenders who immediately scattered and fled in panic.

The situation on the left wing of the Jiangbei army was similar. The 5th regiment was pursuing the defeated army.
The Sixth Regiment was also not slow in its actions. It directly surrounded the weak Liangjiang baggage rear camp and seized countless military supplies.

However, the four regiments that resisted head-on,
Using the left and right tactics, they cut off two bloody paths from the first and second line positions of the Jiangbei Vanguard Battalion.
Miraculously, he captured a lieutenant general and two thousand commanders in the vanguard command tent, and performed a great deed.

At this point, the Far East Army surrounded the Jiangbei Central Army from all sides.

By eight o'clock, the Far East Army had finished cleaning up the battlefield, brought in mortars, and fired a few shots at random.
The Jiangbei Central Army was alone and without help,

After weighing the pros and cons, they had no choice but to raise the white flag and surrender.

call!
The 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th regiments of the Far East Army all breathed a sigh of relief.

Frontline combat troops, take this time to rest and recuperate.

The second-line troops left a few hundred men to guard the prisoners, and the rest marched south to the Wusong battlefield.
At present, the four regiments that can be transferred over here only have a little over 5,000 people at most.

Even if we count the troops directly under the army, plus the first and second regiments, there are at most 11,000 people.
Moreover, more than half of the mortar shells and grenade launcher grenades have been consumed...

The following crucial battle does not seem to be easy to fight.

But military orders are as strong as mountains.

The four regiments sent people to escort the captured officers back to the headquarters, and the others rushed to Wusong one after another.

After receiving the battle report that the Jiangbei troops were annihilated,

The Far East Army Headquarters cheered again.

Now, the left and right arms of the Liangjiang soldiers have been cut off.
It’s time for a real “clash of kings”!

However, behind Wu Song's regiment, there was a loud sound of gunfire.
The soldiers of Liangjiang Prefecture suddenly changed their previous approach and launched a large-scale attack on the town guarded by the First Battalion of the Second Regiment.

why?

The answer is simple. Wu Ziyu is a famous general.
Every day he sent troops from Jiangnan and Jiangbei to
Send out three or four groups of fast horses to inform each other of the enemy's situation.

But this morning,
Not only was there no news from the two friendly armies, but even the fast horses that were sent out were nowhere to be found.

This aroused his vigilance, so he sent out scouts.
As expected, it was discovered that the camps of the Jiangbei and Jiangnan soldiers were
The battle was already in chaos, with the Far East Army's flags everywhere.

This surprised Wu Ziyu.
In less than half a day, all 20,000 friendly troops were defeated?
How was this battle fought?

Damn, are these guys in the south and north of the Yangtze River pigs?
Anyway, he racked his brains but couldn't figure out why he lost so quickly.

Of course, as a famous general, he will not be obsessed with what has happened.
He was keenly aware that he had underestimated the Far East Army's combat effectiveness.

If the opponent's four groups can defeat 20,000 pig teammates,

Then, after they have rested, they will cooperate with the first and second groups in the encirclement.
A joint effort from within and without could completely threaten me...

No, we must act immediately.
First take out the two main groups, and then fight the third, fourth, fifth and sixth groups to determine the winner!
The key at the moment is to eliminate the First Battalion of the Second Regiment guarding the town.
As long as Niuxing Town is captured, the two regiments will be separated.

Whether you want to attack one group or swallow two groups, it will become a piece of cake.

He also knew that the Far East Army was organized
A fully staffed battalion has less than 500 men.
When a lion fights a rabbit, it also uses all its strength.
So he immediately dispatched three teams of a thousand men to jointly besiege Niuxing Town.

Three thousand Liangjiang Prefecture soldiers, seven times the strength of the Second Regiment and the First Battalion, surrounded Niuxing Town with ease.
In the eyes of the three thousand commanders, this battle was a foregone conclusion.

Seven against one, if we can't win, we might as well find a piece of tofu and kill ourselves...

The bald captain who was named as the temporary commander asked politely:
"Look, how do you two fight this battle?"

The one-eyed captain on his left said coldly, "You are the temporary commander, why are you asking me?"

The crooked-mouthed captain on the right has his mouth even crooked.
"That's right, there's nothing to ask, just fight the way you should fight!"

The bald commander was so angry.
But he also knew that these two arrogant guys didn't take him seriously at all.

Originally, we were all equals, but it would be strange if someone suddenly became your boss.

Moreover, to be a captain, one must have some background and connections, so naturally one has a bad temper.
Since the two of them didn't give him face, the bald captain didn't hesitate.

"I'm making a feint attack from the front to draw their fire.
Five minutes later, you will each send out a squadron, attack from both sides, and rush into the town to destroy them all at once!"

The one-eyed man and the crooked-mouthed man looked at each other.
They knew what was going on, and immediately attacked the head.

The bald man ordered his men to launch a feint attack.

Three or four hundred people marched forward, shouting.
They were holding guns and firing, making a lot of noise.
However, his men, in a scattered line,
When they were 150 meters away from the town, they stopped.
Because if we go any further, we might be within the shooting range of the Far East defenders.
The bald man is not stupid. Once he loses his troops,
The medical expenses and pension alone would cost a huge sum of money. Wouldn't it be nice to save that money for drinking and playing with women?

Five minutes later, gunshots and shouts were heard on both sides of Niuxing Town.

But, after several minutes, there were still shouting and gunshots.
The town was silent, there was nothing, as if no one was there.
Hey?
Is this what is going on?
The bald man sent out scouts to investigate, and when he heard the report, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

The attacking force of the one-eyed and crooked-mouthed,

It also stopped 150 meters outside the town, with thunder but no rain.

He called over two captains.

"What do you two mean? Why haven't you attacked yet?"

The one-eyed man rolled his eyes and pushed back, neither hard nor soft.
"Temporary Commander, this is not a good thing to say.
I am organizing an attack. However, the Art of War says: War is a place of life and death, so we must be careful!
I think it’s better to be cautious! "

The crooked-mouthed Qianzong nodded repeatedly:

"My strategy is to 'stir up trouble' and use the grand battle array to shock the rebels.
Maybe after a while, they will come out and surrender..."

"You are pretending to obey military orders but secretly disobeying them..."

One-Eye immediately retorted:
"You said attack, we are already attacking. If you think it's too slow, you can just attack on your own!"

The crooked mouth also added fuel to the fire:
"Yes, yes, yes, the temporary commander has a strong army.
If you don't think highly of us, just charge straight in and take us down!"

The three of them were arguing with each other.
However, Wu Ziyu in the main camp was confused.
Half an hour later, in the telescope,
Above Niuxing Town, the Far East Army flag was still fluttering in the wind.

Even if those three guys are turtles, they should be able to crawl to their destination, right?
He sent a messenger to inquire about the situation.

The bald captain was very honest and said directly to the messenger:
"Tell the commander-in-chief that I am incompetent and cannot command the two captains..."

Wu Ziyu, who received the notice, was furious and his face turned green. He couldn't lead the team, he really couldn't lead the team...

Eight thousand Far Eastern troops annihilated twenty thousand friendly troops in half a day.

You have 3,000 people, and after such a long time, you can't even take down 400 people...

He reprimanded severely and issued an additional strict order:
"Conquer Niu Xing within one hour, otherwise, Trinity will be dismissed and punished!"

The commander-in-chief was furious, and the three captains did not dare to resist.

The bald Qianzong sighed and said:

"My two brothers, if Boss Wu gets angry, we have to fight...

How about this, there is no need to distinguish between feint attack and main attack, all three of us will charge together and finish the fight!"

One-Eyed Crooked Mouth also knew that this was Wu Ziyu's order.

The commander-in-chief would really kill them if they disobeyed orders again, so he nodded and went back to reorganize the attack.

In Niuxing Town, the First Battalion of the Second Regiment of the Far East Army was on high alert.

Battalion Commander Zhuang Hua stood on top of the town's tallest building, the ancestral hall, observing the enemy with a telescope.
Next to him was the deputy battalion commander, Xiao Yue.
And the three company commanders, An Lan, Cheng Wan, and Yun Fei,
Everyone looked calm, as if they didn't notice the enemy troops surrounding them.

Suddenly, Zhuang Hua took a careful look at the enemy troops on three sides before putting down the telescope.

"Damn it! It looks like they're serious this time!"

The three company commanders' eyes lit up, their faces full of joy, and they were ready to fight.
I have been in Niuhang for several days and I am very bored.
Early this morning, three thousand enemy troops surrounded us. We thought we could have a good fight.
But, these soldiers from Liangjiang Prefecture were so sissy that they refused to come up no matter what. It was really frustrating.

Zhuang Hua was originally the captain of the special attack team.
After the Far East Army was reorganized, the Second Regiment was transferred to serve as the main battalion commander.

Right now, it is the battle for the establishment of the Second Regiment.

How can we be worthy of the commander-in-chief's direct subordinates if we don't fight well?

Niuxing is the lifeline of the group and must not be lost!

Because Zhuang Hua was proficient in the special attack team's street fighting tactics, the second regiment commander transferred him here.

The order was just four words: "Hold the cattle line!"

Zhuang Hua's reply was also four words: "People are here, the town is here!"

Just now, the soldiers from Liangjiang Prefecture staged a farce.
But just now it seemed that three thousand-man teams were about to launch an attack.

The real test is coming.

"First, use the firepower of the fortifications to kill as many enemy troops as possible.
Even if they rush in, it doesn’t matter, just fight according to the street fighting manual!"

"Yes!"

The three company commanders saluted in unison.

They immediately got off the roof and returned to their respective defense areas.

When the First Battalion entered Niuxing Town, they evacuated all residents from the town.

Civil affairs system staff helped evacuate people to relatively safe villages.

Today, every street in the town is lined with barricades and obstacles.

There are holes on the walls and doors facing the street...

The whole battalion consists of 450 officers and soldiers.
Hiding in the bunkers scattered among the houses, quietly waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

The war drums of the Liangjiang soldiers were beating loudly.
The three captains did not play tricks this time and ordered the original attacking troops to charge.

The three armies attacked in unison. The soldiers from Liangjiang Prefecture were very arrogant and swarmed in.

One hundred meters, there was no movement in the town.
Seventy meters, still no sound, the Liangjiang soldiers became more courageous and started to trot.
However, when they entered the 50-meter range,
The three frontline defense platoon leaders of the three companies of the first battalion of the Far East Second Regiment shouted:
"beat!"

"Clap clap clap..."

There were more than 30 people firing volleys on each side. This was a standard three-stage shooting. There were two groups of gunners waiting behind them.

"Bam! Boom boom boom!"

More than ten grenade launchers aimed at the densely packed area of ​​Liangjiang Prefecture soldiers and flew over.
"Boom boom boom!"

"Clap clap clap..."

"Clap clap clap!"

The fierce storm stunned the Liangjiang troops who were attacking from three sides.
Watching my teammates fall like wooden stakes,

Looking at the broken limbs and arms, as well as the blood and brains splattered all over the body, they all felt as if they were in a nightmare.

What's going on?

In this round alone, the three Liangjiang Qianzong lost a small portion of their attacking forces.

The attacking troops inevitably fell into chaos.
Some rushed forward, some stood still.

Some were quite clever, realizing that something was wrong, and immediately lay down and crawled backwards...

When they got within 20 meters,
The first wave of the Far East defenders' three-stage shooting had quickly loaded their bullets and aimed and fired again.
"Clap clap clap..."

"Clap clap clap..."

"Clap clap clap..."

Good fellows, almost all those who charged headfirst were knocked down.

Screams and cries echoed throughout the outskirts of Niuxing Town, which made the hesitant comrades even more frightened.

They lay down in panic, looking around.

I found that many smart people were climbing back quickly, so I decided to follow their example...

Seeing the enemy retreat, the Far East defenders did not pursue them, but calmly reloaded their bullets.

These bastards actually ran away. They really need to be beaten~~
The three captains' eyes dropped to the ground.
Damn!

This wave of charge was a big loss.
How much is the specific loss?
More than 300 bald men attacked, and the casualties were around 150.
One-Eye and Crooked Mouth, 200 men went out to attack, with over 100 casualties respectively.
Damn, in just a few minutes, half a thousand-man team is gone?!
They realized that the Far East Army in front of them was a tough nut to crack...

So, the "Two Rivers and Three Treasures" met again to discuss.
This time they were in the same boat, so there was no more internal friction.
If we fail to capture Niuxing within an hour, we will not be able to explain ourselves to Commander-in-Chief Wu.

Military orders are like mountains, military sentiment is like fire.
Three cobblers came up with a brilliant plan.
A quarter of an hour later, the Liangjiang soldiers launched a second charge.
This time, a squadron of soldiers from each wing approached a hundred meters away and made a feint attack.
The bald man was at the front, with dense troops deployed.
The main attack force totaled more than 600 people... Each of the three parties sent out 200 soldiers to launch a group charge...

Before the charge, the temporary commander, the bald captain, brought a basket of silver dollars.
Give each member of the suicide squad two dollars.

"Brothers, the imperial court maintains troops for a thousand days and deploys them for a single moment.
In this desperate charge, whoever reaches the summit first will be promoted three levels and rewarded with two hundred dollars!

In addition, if you kill a rebel, you will be rewarded five dollars, and the officer's reward will be doubled! "

A great reward will surely lead to the death of a husband.

I have never seen a suicide squad with so much money.
The greed in their hearts overcame their fear, and they shouted fanatically:

"Kill, kill, kill! Kill all the rebels! Kill enough to give my wife and children a title!"

The bald man was very satisfied. He drew out his command knife and pointed it at the entrance of the town.

"Charge in and kill all the rebels!"

"Oh oh oh~~"

Six hundred men, divided into three groups, launched a desperate charge towards Niu Xing... (End of this chapter)
